July Plot Tour & Hacking ADHD Overwhelm ⛥ UK Allotment Vlog #19 ⛥ July 2024 ⛥ 

You have a beautiful farm. Nice to see you here, wishing you the best.❤

Hello Sherry, you are doing very well on your plot so far! Keep going, small steps it can get very overwhelming in the garden or plot especially as the weather is so changable, I was out in my garden last night putting in some poor flowers that needed to go in the ground & found two big slugs on the top of my netting covering the broccoli bed! Slugs everywhere, but things still manage to grow some how. Just keep doing a little at a time, you will get there in the end! Suexx🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

Hi 👍 To the progress you are making on your new plot - great to see you labelling the seeds you are sowing - good idea to net the beds once seeds are sown or things planted out - radicchio is a type of chicory - salad leaves and radish are both quick growing so in the other half of the bed these are the crops to plan and are both good for succession planting. Sow a couple of rows then two or three weeks later grow some more - on your brassica bed you could also sow quick maturing salads, as these will be ready to pick before the brassicas have grown big and shaded them out - get that guttering up ASAP while we are having rain because if we do get any dry weather you will very quickly run out of water and you won't be able to bring enough down and you won't want the stress - do a reconnoitre over to the water bowser the landlord has put in. and fill your water bottles up there - use your car more for transporting things from the front of the site to your plot. Drive on fill your bags/bottles then drive to your plot - great use of those bags for life to fill and carry stuff - keep hold of those empty compost bags there are a multitude of uses on the plot - I would be tempted to dig your pond a little deeper as it is very shallow and very open to the elements so will dry up very quickly. Just think how quickly a big puddle dries up in the heat - as the ground is sooooo hard get yourself a mallet and metal bar so you can drive canes etc into a decent depth without breaking them - have a tray bag for your tools so you know where they are when you want them - BE NICE TO YOURSELF........... TREAT YOURSELF TO A NICE SEAT FOR THE SUMMERHOUSE. Somewhere to rest and to enjoy a nice cuppa while you either plan or look back on your days toil These comments are NOT criticism in any way but ment as hints and tips. Please feel free to ignore. All's looking good 👍😁👍

Oh my lord slugs have just been insane this year 😮. A couple of months of progress and you’ve done an awesome job. Funny enough we would love a bit of rain it’s been so hot and this weekend could reach mid to high 30’s. Hope it warms up for you soon Sherry, Ali 🌞🥵🫠🇨🇦
